A BLACKBURN grandmother has won £53,000 in a game of bingo.

The 62-year-old collected the windfall after completing a full house with just 44 numbers at the Gala Club, Ainsworth Street.

The grandmother, whose name has not been revealed, said: "It's great news. I'm very excited.

"I just can't believe it. Now I can have the new bathroom and carpets that I want."
